FL Studio lag help?

Post by WeaponsOfExpression » Sun Apr 24, 2011 8:42 am

When i add too many effects to my project, and press play, the whole thing lags and cant play the track in the proper tempo. I thought it was my computer, until i recently switch to a macbook pro. Anyone else experience this or have an answer as to why? thanks for the help, i appreciate it

i might be wrong but i think i believe this windows processor has 2BG. I know there is a way to give more space to my Windows portion of my laptop over the Mac portion, just not sure how. thanks for the help man, i now know its not an FL issue.

bootcamp is just a dual-boot between OSX and Windows so its not that its not 'stable' because OP is actually running windows
...in my opinion

go to the top, choose tools>Macros> smart disable for all plugins

Do this often as you add more effects and what not.

Also, make sure that on all ur samplers, the button that says keep on disk is unchecked.

Sometimes go ahead and make sure that all ur samplers are set to one voice as in the max polyphony slider.

Remove the limiter from the master channel and mix the track manually.
